Well hoopsters,
the season has begun..and who's 3-0 and in first place in the so called much improved Eastern conference? Why it's those media ignored and much despised Detroit Pistons!!! Yes it's early...but they are actually scoring..and running offenses..as well as still playing world class man to man defense...the bench is improved also...and even Darko Milicic is playing better. No, he won't make anybody remember Kareem, Wilt, or Bill Russell
but he looks to be improved...along with Mc Dyess (healthy) and Delfino...overall, they will be at minimum in the conference finals, and if all goes well champs again....
Miami??? Shaq who?? and added TOO many shooters...but there's only 1 (count on it) basketball to go around. D Wayde is a stud...but that won't be enough....Cleveland? Lebron should divorce the Cavs and sue for non-support. Ditto Allen 'The answer' Iverson...what was the question??? team play??
The west looks to be San Antonio...especially the longer Amarae Stoudamire is hurt....I tell you now...this guy is the prototype of the 'new' big man..who has the whole game...kinda like Hakeem Olajuwon in his prime...but quicker. If he's healthy soon...don't discount the Suns...The Lakers...yeah right...Kobe should hang around with Terrell Owens so they can work on their new book 'How to be a team player' As IF!!!! Hoops are a 5 to 8 or 9 man sport...not 1 man vs. a team...you won't win with a 'It's all about me' attitude....trash talk is funny....but won't get it done...notice how the NBA scoring leaders are usually on loser teams...
Golden State? could it be they are much improved...looks like it...same with Clippers...but C'mon they are the Clippers...!! who could make the US Gov't look like a smooth operation. Pacers??
when will Artest explode?? probably sooner than later...but they do play KILLER defense and Jermaine is as good a low post threat as there is in the current NBA, one of the few true 20-10 men ...NY Knicks....yeah and Spike Lee will be playin point guard..wait!! he might do better than Marbury at distributing the ball!!!! Celtics??? improving..but a couple players away...where's McHale and Bird and Parrish??
now THAT was a baseline!!!!
San Antonio is VERY good with Tim and Manu and Tony...and a strong bench...but this year, Chauncey should elbow Tony Parker in the chops SOONER! remember last year, Parker was blowing by everybody and doing lay-ups...then WHACK!!! chilled him down some...who said it's a non-contact sport!!!
Another tip to fans...look OFF the ball...the TV focuses on following the ball..but you miss all the great plays, screens, movement, passing etc...it takes to GET open in this man's NBA...also, on defense, all the 'dirty' type play happens here, such as the Chauncey elbow..or the classic pushing the shooters elbow lightly...right about when he's launching the shot...this is almost NEVER called (Right Manu???) but very effective..
Feel free to post anything here relevant to the NBA on or off the court...and I will be posting more here each week...through-out the playoffs......
HOOPS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
